BODYATTACK 72 SIZZLER - FIRST LOOK

In case you hadn’t noticed – and seriously, how could you miss it? – Lisa Osborne was very pregnant when BODYATTACK™ 72 was filmed. The fact she’s on this release at all is an inspiration to women everywhere, but even the irrepressible Lisa makes some allowances, working low-impact options throughout and showing how to teach this program safely for participants at all levels and conditions. The presenting team shows their support by taking the stage with balls under their shirts, but then it’s straight into business. From the outset, there are plenty of options to choose from, not just low impact. By extending the range of motion in Track 2’s mixed impact, you can also dial up intensity... or take away the arms if the combinations are confusing. Just have some fun, it’s OK! But Track 3 puts the Hammer To The Heart, cranking up an aerobic workout with more than 100 Jumping Jacks. Phew! Then, you’ll have to Move It! in Plyometrics with a new down-up-up-down rhythm to Lunges that will have your legs burning. This is the explosive training so important in any sport. Challenge your class with the Pushups and Stomping Planks (need a name) in Track 5, and then take out the competitive element by stressing fun and technique through the running phase. American football is the featured sport in this release, so Track 7 mixes plenty of foot speed and agility drills with touchdown imagery. Feel the energy levels rise again in Intervals, and then get ready to hit those Jacks one more time as you push Sports and Aerobics components of the BODYATTACK™ 3D essence in the Power Track. Don’t hold back... this is the last chance for your class to work for fitness. Focus on the lower body in Track 10 – those Side Lunges have got to hurt to work – before taking it to the core with a testing Pulse and Extend Combo. You made it, but be warned... by next release, Lisa will be back to her normal shape and there’ll be no slowing her down!
